ComradeMetelev,Superintendent of All-Russia C.E.C. Houses

Pleasebe sure to make available a room in the 1st House
of Soviets to ComradeCecilia Samoilovna Bobrovskaya,
whom I know very well as an old Party worker. She is
now living in absolutely intolerable conditions, and the
doctors have ordered her to be transferred at once to one
of the Houses of Soviets.

Informmy secretariat of
execution.[2]

V.Ulyanov(Lenin)Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars

P.S.I have known Bobrovskaya since the epochbefore1905, and know that she is capable of living in great
hardship and be reticent about it excessively. That is why she
needs urgent
help.[1]

[1]P.S.is in Lenin’s hand.—Ed.
